Usagi developed the klutz, ditzy persona to protect herself from the enemies who destroyed the kingdom. The garden is the only place she can truly be herself and where she trains to become queen. It appears that no one but herself knows the differences in personality and how she pretends to be dumb. She manages to calm herself from the post-dream trauma. Bringing the beautiful red rose to her nose she sniffs the delicate flower and it brings memory of her lost love. A small smile appears on her face as she realises that Tuxedo Mask is not all who he seems and may be the prince of her dreams. Tucking the rose into her hair, she picks herself up and attends to the garden.

When the setting of the sun darkens the garden she ties her hair into "Odangos", her signature hairstyle. Usagi exits the building and walks to the Temple deep in thought over the identity of Tuxedo Mask when she slams into a brick wall and braces for impact to the ground. Said brick wall holds the girl close to him and this brings comfort to the girl. A faint whisper of "Endy" is just barely heard. Once she hears a sharp intake, looks up to see her tormentor Mamoru. His face is in shock but faint recognition is visible in his eyes. Once Usagi realises that she has released the name of her dream prince and that Mamoru recognises this name she quickly gave him a small smile and bolted up the stairs to the meeting. It was way too much for the princess to handle.

Calming her heart before entering the room, she opened the door but stops herself from entering. Soft harsh whispers of the Senshi fill the room all picking every small detail that their leader is a failure as a Sailor Moon and Usagi. They even began planning on ways to make her leave the group and began arguing on who should replace her. Her best friends who would not have had friends if it were not for her could not accept who she was even if it was a mask. They never thought she was anything but a failure.

Utterly heartbroken by the betrayal, she slips out of the room, runs down the stairs and crashes again into Mamoru who has not moved from his shocked stance. Quickly, he realises there is a traumatised girl attached to him, he picks her up and takes her to his apartment. Never once does he think this is a bad idea, only that he must protect this girl in his arms. Silent broken tears and soft muffles of pain continuously come from the girl. Once he enters the apartment he takes off his and her shoes, grabs a blanket from his room and then carefully places the girl on the couch and wraps them both in the blanket. He then brings her to his lap, unties her hair and softly strokes her hair in a soothing gesture. There is silence between them as only silent tears trickle down her face. All Mamoru is thinking is who dares makes this girl cry and they will pay once he locates them.

All too soon they fall asleep wrapped together.

***Dream***

The young princess enters the ballroom as it is a ball to signify the possibility of an alliance between the Earth and the Moon. Serenity was very excited to meet the Royal family especially the prince as she had duties to attend to earlier that had stopped her. Dressed in a long silver gown with straps attached blow her shoulders and a sash around the waist, the princess also had long silver gloves and pears attached to her royal hairstyle.

Placing a mask on her face to conceal her identity she tried to locate the prince or her royal court. A young man dressed in a tuxedo and mask gently grabs her hand and kisses it. Serenity's heart begins to pound as this is an Earthling custom. She gracefully curtsies and they both smile as they begin to dance.

The pair dances many dances only looking into each other's eyes, recognising their soul mate. Looking around to see if anyone is watching, Serenity leads the masked man into her secret garden for some privacy. Both sit at a bench near the moon flowers. Almost instantaneously, the pair remove their masks and are astounded by the others beauty. They begin talking about all topics and find they have much in common. As the Earth rises high in the sky, Serenity realises the ball will end soon and introductions need to happen so she can locate this man.

"I do not believe I have introduced myself, my name is Princess Serenity of the Moon and I am sorry I have concealed my identity."
"Princess Serenity do not worry, I also have concealed my identity. I am Prince Endymion of the Earth and I am enchanted to meet your acquaintance"

Tears fall down from Serenity's eyes as she knew this match will be forbidden. Endymion lifts her chin and wipes the tears and conjures up a beautiful red rose. This makes her smile, thus beginning their forbidden romance.

**End of Dream***

Usagi opens her eyes and looks into Mamoru's deep blue sparkling eyes. She opens up her mouth to speak but a finger stops her. "We will talk about that dream in a second but I want to know firstly what made you so upset earlier."

Tears spring to her eyes at the memory of her friend's betrayal. Could she trust this man who has teased her? But had he really? No not really it was a bit of a game she guessed. So she decided to trust him.

"After I crashed into you I went to meet the girls at Rei's grandfather's temple. Before I could walk into the room I heard them pick out every single of my faults as a person and a leader. They even talked about ways for me to want to leave and argued about my replacement. It is not fair I mean I have done nothing but be their best friends and this is how they treat me. I mean they do not even see who I really am." Usagi started of whispering but as she progressed in the explanation she became angrier and did not even realise her language was correct.

"So what if I am a klutz or always late or not that smart? They should like me for who I am. I mean if it was not for me they would have no body! To think they think they can defeat the monsters without me. HA. Don't they know it's just a routine? Even you know that" She covered her mouth when she realised that she just told him that she was Sailor Moon and that she knows he is Tuxedo Mask. She closed her eyes as she waited for him to realise this and start yelling.

Then bravely she opened her eyes and...
